all major party candidates (as defined by a sizeable parliamentary caucus and/or winning over 1% of the votes) in direct elections for the presidency of Brazil are included.

Please try to vote not only based on ideology, but also on objective judgement of the campaigns, personal style, political strategy of these contenders. Of course, you can still vote on ideology, but try not to be a hack and turn this into a Cardoso vs. Lula bitchfest.

Round ONE is now OPEN. Please vote to eliminate 5 candidates, of which two will be eliminated

Ciro Gomes (Can't we say he is a big failure in presidential elections, given his ambitions and his final results ?)Cristovam BuarqueUlysse GuimaraesRoberto FreireOrestes Quercia

I vote for those whom I think (perhaps wrongly) were disappointments, considering their ambitions, their initial support, their political organization or their "star" supports.Sorry if some of these names hurt the big Brazil specialists here .

In a way, Salgado, even Brizola and... Rousseff may be on this list too ! And communist Fluza should win

Please vote to eliminate 3 candidates, of which two will be eliminated. Again guys, please don't be hacks and vote based on these candidate's strategy, political skills, campaign style and electoral results rather than the stupid old reasons of ideology or partisan hackery. For example, you may hate Vargas but only idiots and partisan hacks can't admit that the guy was one of the best political minds and strategist of his day and it's totally undeniable that he had real political skills and was undoubtedly a very good candidate. The same goes for Marina Silva, Quadros and even Cardoso.[/rant]

Please, people, for heaven's sake, don't make this a useless boring partisan hackery survivor where we eliminate the people we personally hate the most.
